Q&A: Recent international mpox outbreaks highlight health care stigma, inequities

In July of 2022, mpox was declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern, or PHEIC, by WHO during a surge in infections that led to more than 100,000 cases in 122 countries.
Although the PHEIC was declared over in May 2023, reports of sporadic cases and transmission have continued, including an outbreak of newly identified clade Ib mpox in the Democratic Republic of the Congo with sustained human-to-human transmission and spread into nearby countries. This led to a second PHEIC being declared in August 2024, during which approximately 12,000 cases have been reported in several

Contents of foods advertised during NFL games may exacerbate chronic diseases

Foods advertised during NFL games were typically high in content like fat, sodium and calories, a cross-sectional analysis in JAMA Network Open showed.
The data indicate that people with certain chronic diseases like heart failure “should be counseled by clinicians about limiting dietary intake of most foods advertised during professional football games,” the researchers wrote.
Regarding the results, “it’s probably one of those things where everybody knows it, but no one actually tabulated it in the past,” Paul J. Hauptman, MD, dean of the University of Neveda,

Study: Unexpected infant deaths increased in recent years

Although infant mortality rates have declined since 1999, there was a recent spike in sudden unexpected infant deaths from 2020 to 2022, according to data published in JAMA Pediatrics.
“We were very surprised to learn that sudden unexpected infant deaths (SUIDs) have increased recently,” Elizabeth R. Wolf, MD, MPH, assistant professor of pediatrics at Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine, told Healio.
Wolf and colleagues studied infant mortality data from 1999 to 2022 to identify patterns in SUID rates. Additionally, Wolf and colleagues compared infant mortality rates

VIDEO: MCO-010 demonstrates vision improvements, safety in retinitis pigmentosa

KOLOA, Hawaii — In this Healio Video Perspective from Retina 2025, Allen C. Ho, MD, discusses the growing promise of optogenetic therapy in treating patients with retinal disease.
Data from a randomized, multicenter, sham-controlled program investigating MCO-010 (Nanoscope Therapeutics) in 27 patients with retinitis pigmentosa demonstrated “significant improvements” in vision with low and high doses as well as a positive safety profile, according to Ho.
“We may have a mutation-agnostic approach for introducing light-sensitive engineered opsins into remaining retinal

THA stem design may have a larger impact on periprosthetic fracture risk vs. cement use

According to published results, stem design was the strongest predictor of postoperative periprosthetic femoral fracture after total hip arthroplasty, regardless of the use of cement.
“In this study, we challenge the conventional cement-centric stem classification approach and call for more nuanced categorization to better predict stem performance,” Josh N. Lamb, PhD, FRCS, consultant senior lecturer at the University of Bristol and a consultant lower limb arthroplasty surgeon at Wrightington Hospital in England, and colleagues wrote.
They added, “Stem design was strongly

‘Walk ‘n Watch’ protocol boosts quality of life after stroke

A protocol designed to progressively increase physical therapy intensity for stroke survivors improved walking distance, speed and quality of life compared with standard care, data presented at the International Stroke Conference show.
While guidelines currently recommend progressive exercise after a stroke, Janice J. Eng, PhD, a professor in the neurorehabilitation research program in the department of physical therapy at the University of British Columbia, said in a press release related to the study that uptake is lagging. So, Eng and colleagues tested the implementation of the “Walk N’

Thin flap trochleoplasty augments MPFL reconstruction for recurrent patellar instability

Published results showed medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction combined with thin flap trochleoplasty may yield low rates of redislocation and reoperation for patients with high-grade trochlear dysplasia and recurrent instability.
“The correction of trochlear dysplasia with trochleoplasty is indicated in patients with recurrent [lateral patellar instability (LPI)] and high-grade trochlear dysplasia with a trochlear bump and a significant J-sign,” Laurie A. Hiemstra, MD, PhD, and colleagues from the Banff Sport Medicine Foundation wrote in the study.
They added, “Despite

CDC resumes publishing top scientific journal

The CDC on Thursday published its famed Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report for the first time since the Trump administration ordered the nation’s various health agencies to freeze public communications.
The journal, commonly called MMWR, went unpublished — seemingly for the first time ever — in each of the last 2 weeks following the order issued by HHS.
Issues of MMWR usually contain four or more items, including epidemiologic studies, outbreak reports or new vaccine recommendations. The two MMWR articles that appeared online Thursday were both a type of dispatch known as “Notes

Avoid vitamin D ‘mega-doses’ for patients with CKD, kidney transplant

Patients with chronic kidney disease and those who have had a kidney transplant should avoid high doses of vitamin D, according to an evidence-based consensus document.
“Vitamin D deficiency is common in patients with CKD and associates with poor outcomes,” Hanne Skou Jørgensen, MD, PhD, associate professor in the department of clinical medicine at Aarhus University in Denmark, wrote with colleagues. “Even so, the evaluation and management of vitamin D deficiency in patients with CKD remains controversial.”
Supplementation with active vitamin D compounds may not
